Shiny Video Review: Andrée Putman's photo frame for Parrot
A good few weeks ago, Parrot announced the Andrée Putman-designed digital photo frame. Now, I don’t know about you, but with a price-tag of £250, I’m slightly dubious as to what this photo frame can offer above all the other sub-£100 models. Take a look above for Susi’s thoughts on it…
Revolve: rotating socket strip to organise your power cable hell
I think it speaks of my transition into true manhood that I get excited about a rotating power strip…
Need clean clothes in 20 minutes? LG's Steam Direct Drive washing machine can deliver
LG thinks you smell. It’s nothing personal, they just don’t approve of your washing methods up until now. Which is why they’ve launched some special new Steam Direct Drive washing machines, which promise to wash your clothes in just 20 minutes.
You can apparently shove up to 9kg of soiled clothes into the machines, and using steam instead of water, they’ll be odour-less and dry, ready for you to wear. It’s been given a rating of A++ in energy…
B&Q's Memphis barbecue – cooks your burgers, plays your music
The sun has hit the UK, which means we can all clock off, kick back in the garden and start burning some chicken. Which should all be made easier with B&Q’s Memphis barbecue…
R/C mobile drinks cooler: for very silly, very lazy people – just like me
This is the laziest thing since paying someone to touch your toes for you, lazier than putting yourself on a respirator because you just can’t be arsed to breathe. In fact, this item is so unbelievable unnecessary and pointless that I really want one.
I’m sitting in a boiling hot office in this first bloom of 2008 English summer. Whenever I look at this remote control drinks cooler…
Somela Fast Dehydrator: a hi-tech mangle (not a pedal bin)
This may look like a pedal bin but it’s actually the world’s smallest tumble dryer of a sort, in that it doesn’t tumble at all.
The Somela Fast Dehydrator works by hand, drying one item at a time in between three and five minutes a piece, and it uses powerful blasts of non-hot air…
Combination clock: if you need the time spelled out to you
“A clock,” you’re saying to yourself, “a clock, but this looks ridiculous?” and at first glance, I’d agree but look a little closer, reader a little further and you’ll see that it’s actually a work of genius.
Dutch born Swedish designer Christiaan Postma has taken apart 150 modern day clocks, pared them down to the parts that make them tick and combined them to created one large, 140cm x 140cm timepiece.
Each clockwork mechanism works together to display the time in words…
The Dog Microwave Pet Pavillion: just in case you’re crazy enough to think your pet needs incubating
One look at the Pet Pavillion and you can’t help but think of the urban myth about the old lady who successfully sued the microwave company when she cooked her dog, attempting to dry it after a rainy walk.
The lawsuit never really happened but obviously Korean-based company Autoelex was deeply affected by the story and sensed a gap in the pet-warming market…
'Sir Cut A Lot' Robomow RL1000 robot lawnmower – It likes big cuts and it cannot lie
I don't think I've ever heard of anyone giving St George's Day presents but if you have a particularly patriotic dad you might want to stock up for Fathers' Day now with this perfect dad gift.
This is the special edition Robomower RL1000 dubbed "Sir Cut A Lot"…
